"No No No...I was in the pool!!"

[Welsh Rabbit]

LOL! What about Adam in the Sistine Chapel fresco? That guy really got short changed...

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Little David was the first rock and roll artist.
He took a rock and rolled the giant.

Brother Dave

I thought they'd just put a condom on it.

[numberonepal]

Michelangelo was not kind to him.

Maybe not in the size department. But for sheer strength, David has remained in tact. Most 500 year old statues have the old boy broken off.

"I thought they'd just put a condom on it."

Don't think somebody tried. Stonehenge is now fenced in because of a reason.

[UnklGene]

[Capriole]

Yeah, it looks like Michelangelo might have had some issues, if you know what I mean.

[avitot]

he needs a bris to be truly david.

[Imaverygooddriver]

LOL! SHRINKAGE!!

"Elaine, you know about shrinkage don`t you?"

"No, what`s shrinkage?"

[twinzmommy]

Could just be that David was a "grower" not a "shower"

*nods*

*laughs*

[Clemenza]

That's because he really wasn't David, but a Michelangelo boytoy named Tadzio who he picked up in a bathhouse.
